I am grateful for all that she does for me to keep me healthy and functional. I wish that I could only pay 5.00 a visit, but her time and yours are worth much more than that. So I gladly pay more knowing that she is there when I need to call her if I have an issue. Lately we've been dealing with drug interactions and side effects. I appreciate all that she does and that doctors like you do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-63992403567872716432013-01-08T15:06:29.344-05:002013-01-08T15:06:29.344-05:00Thank you, Dr., for caring.

I've just found this blog, and I love the stories, but this post really moved me.<br /><br />My mother's oncologist talked a pharmaceutical company into giving her potentially lifesaving medication for free after her insurance spent three months refusing to cover it. And when it turned out those three months had been too long a wait, he brought the whole family to her bedside and cried with us as he broke the news. Why? Because he CARED.<br /><br />It's wonderful Dr. Dohner is able to do what he does. But it doesn't make what you and other hardworking, caring doctors do any less wonderful.ladycrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878259270132531014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-65534202343837994652012-12-29T16:49:33.572-05:002012-12-29T16:49:33.572-05:00Thank you Dr Grumpy!!!!!Thank you Dr Grumpy!!!!!terri chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398808840234914275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-48104411259627868992012-12-20T10:23:32.251-05:002012-12-20T10:23:32.251-05:00I wish some of the doctors I see at the VA were as...I wish some of the doctors I see at the VA were as caring. They draw a salary and get paid with or without my seeing them. I've had a few who treat me as another number, don't listen, click-clack at the computer while ignoring me and telling me they can't help. Shoot, one of them prescribed a medication I had just told him I was allergic to. I'm glad to hear there are some doctors out there that still CARE about their patients.

Sure, its good to know we're not being ripped off with exorbitant greedy fees, but we all generally understand quality care will cost us something. In every field we just want people who are specialised in their jobs and to do the job well. From bakers to plumbers to bus drivers..the people who love their jobs tend to do them better - but its funny we don't hear stories of mass complaint when a teacher waives their paltry pay because they love their job....

I'm glad because it serves to remind people like me, who are not patients of yours, to really stop and think about our own docs and the other people who in some way help us and go above and beyond in doing so.

They've been rooting for me to find a good man for a long time, and one nurse even tried to keep her eyes out for any nice, eligible men either among her patients or from elsewhere to set me up with! She teased that soon we'd be getting double appointments in neurology! But then eHarmony did the trick, and the wedding is in May! And as I said, my neurologist and a few of my favorite nurses will be getting invitations!<br /><br />That is about as good a sign of how much I ADORE my neurologist as anything else!Vickinoreply@blogger.com
